Subject: Important Stravinsky
This is possibly the most important of all of your excellent Stravinsky transfers.It clearly shows that the composer had a powerful and emotional way of performing this piece in his early years.

It reveals this work to be a profoundly moving piece that is built on Russian traditions and also demonstrates a striking modernity even in the 21 century. Many thanks.
